New York Knicks vs Toronto Raptors Prediction: It is worth considering the total under

Prediction for the NBA New York Knicks vs Toronto Raptors match which will take place on January 21st. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.a

The Knicks are on a roll, winning eight of their last ten games. At the same time, Thomas Thibodeau's team, which began to play very productive games at one point in the season, is now giving up very little. New York has allowed opponents to score more than 106 points in the last ten games only twice.

The duel with the Raptors will be the Knicks' third home game in a row. New York won the first two - Houston (109:94) and Washington (113:109).

The Raptors have been involved in landmark trades recently. OG Anunoby left the Canadian team and was traded to the Knicks. RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley went in opposite directions. Pascal Siakam also left Toronto for Indiana. On the other hand, the Raptors got Bruce Brown and Jordan Nwora from the Pacers and three first-round picks.

In the first game after these changes, Darko Rajakovic's team unexpectedly crushed Miami at home, 112:97. But they could not continue their success at home, losing to Chicago 110:116.

With New York's recent improvement on defense, it is worth considering the total under in the upcoming game. In addition, the Raptors tend to play slowly and are unlikely to show any flashy basketball in Maddison Square Garden. At the same time, the team's offense will be based on ball movement, even if it is ineffective.
